Well i sure hope your intentions are for the forces of good and NOT the forces of evil. Anyway the beauty of USB is the fact you can read and write to it just like any other file on your harddisc, unlike with CD media where you need a CS degree and MS's blessing. So now the question really is """ How do i run a python script when i plug in my flash drive"""? And thats a good question. Well it's going to involve "something" watching and waiting for this (big hint) "event" to happen. Maybe something like a "Flash Drive plug in watcher sevice" Do you have any experience with win32 programming? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
